Guys buy this http://store.steampowered.com/app/253980/ its a solid action game and price is well worth it.

I bought it on GoG a while back and I found it pretty meh. Lots of missed potential.

Well true it is a shallow game, and its nowhere as good as, for example, Severance but visually it was quite good, maps filled with secrets and combat was well meh but overall I find it a nice little game and for that price tag you cant go wrong.

Banished. I wish I listened and didnt buy this.
What? That game is great!

IL2 "5 games in 1" an arcade multiplayer ww2 areal combat smashup according to SMA. Cant wait to try this.
I hope you don't expect an arcade game as you were told, because it is a hardcore flight sim and not easy to play well. Especially in multiplayer.

Banished has virtually no late game content or goals to aspire to beyond getting as big a population as you can. I pretty much always quit once I start getting large food surpluses (usually around pop ~200).

I'm also annoyed that the promised extensive mod tools are still no where to be seen. Considering that the game was such a big seller and presumably had such a small cost you'd think the creator would be a enthusiastic about improving and expanding the game. Yet all we've seen are a few bug fixes.

For the first hour. And then you realize you've seen all the content the game has to offer.
I played 20 hours until I had enough of it, but that 20 hours was a blast. Very good mechaics, nice atmoshpere, overall a great game. Sure, I won't play it again, but I got my money worth.

Devolver games are on sale, Duke 3D Megaton Edition and Shadow Warrior Classic are worth some euros, don't forget to disable the terrible "smooth textures" though.

I haven't participated in a Steam sale in atleast a year. I have atleast 100 games I bought but never installed or cared to play. It's like a really perverse version of gambling where I know I lose every time.

Just because you bought a ton of shitty games before doesn't mean there aren't good games to buy now. Stop buying shit for no reason and research.

Wrong. I already have all the good games. It's the optimism in me that encourages this depraved behavior.

So, I pretty much liked the Sale, I bought:
Divinity Original Sin Digital Collectors edition :incline: though I'll probably wait for some patches and Russian translation.
Legends of Eisenwald - won't play it till the release, but wanted to support the devs.
Cinders -
a feminist VN based on Cinderella story :kwafuckyeah:
Oknytt - a very cool atmospheric adventure game based on Scandinavian folklore!! Don't miss!!!!
Year Walk -
some strange game, haven't touched it yet though.
Final Fantasy VIII -
probably will complete once again on a pc.
Blackguards: Untold Legends - huge discount+support for Blackguards 2.
Transistor - playing it right now, not an OMG 11/10 GOTY, but it's okay and it looks/sounds great.
System Shock 2 - for a dollar:takemymoney:

+ a bunch of small indies for my wife.

I have even better idea - stop buying ANY game until you have time to play them. No, answer "b-b-but it's promo!" is not right.
That should save you from Backlog Syndrome and other people from your mumbling....

Banished. I wish I listened and didnt buy this.
What? That game is great!

IL2 "5 games in 1" an arcade multiplayer ww2 areal combat smashup according to SMA. Cant wait to try this.
I hope you don't expect an arcade game as you were told, because it is a hardcore flight sim and not easy to play well. Especially in multiplayer.


i gave banished another go last night and i was up till 4 am playing it then my town got wiped out by a tornado. everything was in prefect equilibrium until that moment and there were dozens of potential optimisations i hadn't implemented.
